Topologie algébrique, chapter IV, § 1. Espaces délaçables

Let B be a connected unwindable space and let bb be a point of B. It follows from Theorem 1, (iv), that every operation of the group π1(B,b)\pi_1(B, b) is admissible. Consequently, every π1(B,b)\pi_1(B, b)-set is isomorphic to a π1(B,b)\pi_1(B, b)-set EbE_b, where E is a covering of B (III, p. 318, prop. 7). Recall also (III, p. 310, prop. 2) that if E and E′E' are coverings of B, the mapping f↦fbf\mapsto f_b induces a bijection of the set of morphisms of B-spaces from E into E′E' onto the set of morphisms of π1(B,b)\pi_1(B, b)-sets from EbE_b into Eb′E'_b.

In the language of categories, one says that the functor which associates with a covering E of B the fibre EbE_b is an equivalence of categories from the category of coverings of B into the category of π1(B,b)\pi_1(B, b)-sets.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
